Default Um, Ken..., or, suddenly, $24,000.00 for a evening out in NYC seems like a bargain...

With these murders, most of the best Arabic translation human assets
of the USA were assassinated. WHERE IS THE MONUMENT TO THEM AND AN
HONEST EXPLAINATION OF WHY THEY WERE MURDERED? A monument Americans
can see, not some plaque in an obscure hallway in McClain, or out at
NSA. All the coverup to keep intact a phony history version of that
particular war.


Dave, of the 34 men killed, about 7 were CT I branchers (Interpretive
branch - the linguists). To say "most" of the best Arabic translation
human assets is a little disingenuous. Most I branchers are at NSA or
ships/sites in the middle east - at that time they included Turkey,
Cyprus, Italy, and Morocco. There were many R, T, and M branchers also
killed.

As far as memorials: There should be one of them in DC, along with the
EC-121 shot down by North Korea, but don't hold your breath. There are
several memorials for the U.S.S. Liberty around the country, including
a school in your state. Google USS Liberty for a list.
